Sharon King-Chai grew up on the sunny shores of Sydney and spent happy years doodling and covering the carpets in ink. She studied Visual Communication (Hons) at University of Technology, Sydney, majoring in illustration. In 2003, armed with paintbrushes and a jar of vegemite she travelled across the world to a fresh new canvas, and has been based in North London ever since. Sharon has worked for design studios and publishing houses on album artwork, websites, ad campaigns, product packaging, logos, book covers and event identities. The app of her first picture book, Lucy Ladybird (lucyladybird.com), won the 2013 Family Choice Award and was highly commended for the Futurebook Innovation Award.
